Mid day break from the yard work. Hope the entire D-L is having a fine day with family, friends, or yard tools! ... lol. Wife is asleep on the couch not feeling well. Dog is grumbling because it can't curl up on the couch with her.
I'm gettin another shower and going back outside. Let them two fight it out. My bet is the dog winds up outside with me

That's exactly the job I was referring to and no other
McDonalds was the first to do this. Masterful at it. Now it's an industry-wide tactic. Make the cups bigger when you raise the prices so it seems justified. Go back to the regular sizes during slower seasons. Repeat Wendy's is doing the latter half of that right now. Was just in there 2 weeks ago and their L is their old M.
Watched a couple minutes of the niffle while I was cooling off. Got to see Lonnie Johnson get hurt going for an INT. I always tune in at inopportune times it seems, and now I can't say I didn't watch the niffle this year.

I dined at Cookeville, TN Cracker Barrel last month. Not bad. Good service. Tasty biscuits. My cousin, who is a plumber in KY, told me to avoid CB in Bowling Green, KY next to I-65 near the Harley-Davidson dealership. Says the kitchen is the nastiest he's ever seen.
I gave much thought to where I would retire to when getting out of CA with all of its beggars, homelessness, suicidal politics, etc. I chose this planned community in the middle of the AZ desert (Florence). Escaping was the plan and it has worked so far.
Here are the 10 Safest Cities in Arizona for 2021
1. Florence2. Oro Valley
3. Gilbert
4. San Luis
5. Sahuarita
6. Surprise
7. Somerton
8. Lake Havasu City
9. Maricopa
10. Prescott Valley
We've been trying to go to locally owned businesses to eat, but occasionally do franchise food. CB hasn't had the best service here in years, so we only go probably once a year now.
If we're on the road we stop there more. Seems they are better all around in tourist spots or we've just been fortunate in that regard.
Or is it just safer because you and people like you are there?
Back to the weeds! Have a great afternoon everyone!
My wife was a CB server for a couple of years. Horrible company to work for (I literally assaulted the manager on the floor on her last day and was lucky I didn't get arrested) - but the food was good. But it has become horrible in the last few years and I won't eat there anymore. A lot of the stuff they used to make on site now comes in canned and frozen I think.
I noticed, could actually call it theft by deception...
The growth in Arizona in my lifetime has been remarkable. I think Phoenix had about 65,000 when I was born and today it is the 5th most populous city in the United States with 1.6 million residents.
Where do they get enough water to support a population this huge
They don't. Arizona and Texas has the worst water imaginable. Regurgitated pool water at best. A friend of mine had an RO system there along with a whole house softener and the water was still bad to my taste.(Lived in SA nearly 7 years, at Goodfellow AFB for 16 weeks, Ft Huachuca 16 weeks, same horrible water.) South Carolina in Summerville has the best I've had. Here in northern Virginia the water is actually tolerable and my RO system here does the trick...

On Florence, AZ being safe. Smiths Grove had the last murder in 1951.
Can Florence match that?
Of course we are not a desert. Smiths Grove produces tons of pollen as this place helps feed the world. Your allergies would be better in a desert; however, if you want to eat . . . . . . .
Air conditioning, pure and simple.
On water: I have lived in Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida, Maryland, Texas and Indiana. By far, and I really mean by far, the best water is in Kentucky.
Our water out of the tap is good. It comes from Barren River.
My father-in-law had a spring in the back yard (75 feet down in a sinkhole). That limestone spring is the best water that I have ever tasted. It is 54 degrees year round and is wonderful straight out of the rocks. He had it tested yearly and never found any bacteria. Kentucky is blessed with water.
The worst water that I had was in Jacksonville, FL and the second worst was Houston, TX.
So I guess that I am agreeing with BBUK except I substituted Jacksonville with Arizona. I have never lived in Arizona so I have no experience on its water; however, on Arizona water, my friend was the chemist for the Tucson, AZ water company. Even he said it was horrible. They take water from the Colorado River (by the time it gets to them it is full of salt). They pump the river water into the ground and then extract it several miles away to get the damned salt out of it. There is some ground water that gets in it but it is horrible crap. He says he will not drink his own water and gets bottled water. He raves over my tap water.
The western states have water problems that we keep sweeping under the rug. How long can we run on fiction?
Yes Sir and I totally forgot, my Dad owned a home in Tazewell TN that the water was the purest I can remember. It would freeze in his freezer in about 15 minutes it seemed. I could never drink enough of that water. It was well water and near the end of him living there they were doing some sort of blasting and his water went to heck in a little while but that was the purest form of water I had ever seen. You'd drink it and it was so pure it never seemed to quench your thirst...
Nah, pan handling is more profitable and tax free...

That is nearly as much as ATX finds in a day at car washes and bar parking lots.
I’m assuming your water is pumped out of the river before it gets to Bowling Green. My son got his degree from WKU, (geology), and did lots of water testing in the Bowling Green water system. Said it was just nasty, because of all the cave systems around the area.
Don't remember what show I watched or the station it was on but, several years ago I saw and expose on pan handling that showed people making a lot of money that way and a few people wrote books on how to do it after they got rich doing it.Nah, pan handling is more profitable and tax free...

Back in the early/mid 80's, I was making a million lamp shades a year. There were a few bigger people, but people in the business knew my name. The guy that first brought chinese lamps and shades into the USA came by my shop and brought some chinese men with him. The idea was to use my connections and get things started. I could have been in on the ground floor and be wealthy now, but it just didn't seem like the thing to do and I just didn't want to deal with folks I didn't know and thousands of miles away, so I said no. Others said yes and the results are obvious. I wrote our dear friend Mitch (sarcasm intended) a letter about imports and what was happening with specifics to my industry and thoughts in general. He sent me back a bs form letter thanking me for my input and asked for a donation. I didn't know it till later, but found out he was making BOATLOADS of money (pun and sarcasm intended) through his wife off everything being shipped here.
On the subject of water.
My paternal grandfather lived in the coal fields of Kentucky and the water was usually undrinkable due to the high gas content and smell. Fortunately they had water flowing out of a rock ceiling in a cave behind their house. They drank that water and used well water to clean the house.
Where I live, the state has a natural underground aquifer with about 800 billion gallons of water flowing through limestone that bubbles every day to form more than 700 of our springs. That’s the largest collection anywhere on earth!
But that almost got destroyed. In 1567 Phillip II of Spain wanted to cut a canal through Florida from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico to save having to go around the state. In the 1930's the U.S. government approved of a planned route from the St, John River at Jacksonville on the Atlantic coast South to Palatka at the valley of the Ocklawaha River to the coastal divide, and on to the Withlacoochee River to the Gulf of Mexico near Yankeetown. This would have cut right through the underground aquifer turning us into Arizona.
Our county sells and pipes water South to Pinellas County, with cites St Pete and Clearwater, because Pinellas can not produce enough fresh water to take care of 1,000,000 people.
The spring's water temperature never goes above 72 degrees and is crystal clear. My drinking water comes from the Weeki Wachee Springs as pure water and nothing is added to it, not even fluoride. The local dentist will treat your teeth with fluoride if you want it. I have a shallow well that I use for the yard, shrubs and trees if they need watering.

I visited Lexington a month ago and saw a sign on Richmond Road asking people to donate money to some city project to give to panhandlers. I guess the idea was to house all of them and give them money from citizens so they would not have to beg on the street.
I had never heard of that before but I have not been many places as WOKE as Lexington, KY
That looks similar to a spring I swam in once. Father and mother in law were staying in Florida during the summer for his job. This was early 80’s. The wife and I drove down to visit for a few days. Don’t remember the name of the place he was working in, but it wasn’t too far from Panama City. My mother in law took us to this spring, and she said jump in and cool off, it’s perfect swimming water. So I dive in head first, and it took my breath away, it was COLD! She got a real good laugh out of that.On the subject of water.

I was going to laugh but remember doing something similar. The water is cold and literally takes your breath away....
Yeah, it’s funny now looking back. Not so much then though 😲
A few years ago, a local news channel was doing a story on panhandling, particularly one man that the cops had been "following" for some time. He would fake a disability, slur his speech, and so on, while begging for money. Well, the cops finally caught up to him and the local news was there to cover it. This con man, in a perfect, reasonable mindset, admitting to faking the entire thing and, up to that point in the year, had already cleared $67K in "donations."
I have 9 hours of geology from WKU, that is a long way from a degree, but I know my rivers.
I don't want to question your son but the caves filter the water. Additionally, the water from Barren river does not come from the caves. The cave water empties into the Green that goes north of Bowling Green.
I am sorry to question your son but I totally disagree.
No problem. I could have been wrong thinking the cave system dumped into the Barren. It’s been a few years.
I see Don Everly has died at age 84. Another Kentuckian done gone.

Additionally, he obtained a Masters Degree from The University of Arkansas on Cave systems. If anyone is mixed up, it’s me. Good day.
On another note...
I thought I put plenty of shredded sharp cheddar cheese in but it didn't taste like it. Will add more in the next batch and I ran out of buttermilk and added sweet milk. Those dark specks are the cheddar cheese. That front biscuit looks dingy but it wasn't.
Oh my oldest closes on her home tomorrow. My youngest is supposed to close October first on her home. I guess I am stuck here... for a while anyway if the Lord doesn't take me home...
Dinner a couple days ago... Black bean paste sauce and I cracked that yolk for the effect...
Stir that baby up and YANG...

But I never bought that story about falling asleep with Suzie at the drive-in though.
Used to take a lot of business trips to J'ville and agree entirely.
Plus the smell if the wind was blowing the right (wrong) way.
Remember a rest stop on I-75 in S. Ky. going North...can't remember now exactly where....but the water was nasty and smelled terrible. Sulphur I believe.
Made two homemade pies for today's lunch...company still here. Chocolate Cream and Coconut Cream.On another note...

Would post a picture too.....but they're all gone.
Waiting to see if I get a call/text of some illness.
A young man goes into a drug store to buy condoms.
The pharmacist says the condoms come in packs of 3, 9 or 12 and asks which the young man wants.
"Well," he said, "I've been seeing this girl for a while and she's really hot. I want the condoms because I think tonight's "the" night.
We're having dinner with her parents, and then we're going out. And I've got a feeling I'm gonna get lucky after that."
"Once she's had me, she'll want me all the time, so you'd better give me the 12 pack." The young man makes his purchase and leaves.
Later that evening, he sits down to dinner with his girlfriend and her parents.
He asks if he might give the blessing and they agree. He begins the prayer, but continues praying for several minutes.
The girl leans over to him and says, "You never told me that you were such a religious person."
The boy leans over to her and whispers, "You never told me that your father is a pharmacist."

I had the China Virus shots, I'm good... Wore a mask while preparing the biscuits too, actually two masks...
